In April of this year my family and I returned to Sydney, after spending 2.5 years living and working in Tasmania. A big move and one I was initially very sad about. I loved the life we had built in Hobart. I loved how it impacted our family - the special moments we created, the friendships we developed, the places we visited.

(oh and in case you were wondering, light and shade photography is still very much in operation, so busy times ahead!)
